one thing you'll learn watching kdramas is that in Korea, people rarely call each other by their actual names and will use honorifics instead. I've found that subtitling will almost always default to the character names to avoid confusion but you tend to lose nuance in relationships in this way. for example: "hyung" means older brother and is used by men to refer to an older man and their older brother. "oppa" means older brother and is used by a woman to refer to an older man, but also often used to refer to a male partner as a term of endearment. there are many others like "nuna" (used by man to refer to older sister) and "unnie" (used by woman to refer to older sister) but those are the basics for now. the more kdramas you watch, the more you'll pick up on the subtle differences these can have on the plot. ❤
"Boss" - is something that all of my Filipino relatives who came to the US for school said referring to anyone who they listen to whilst doing any job. LOL. It's something they use in PI.
FYI: it’s not sushi; it’s gimbap 김밥 The one who was playing basketball and not helping is Jae-jun; he’s the one sleeping with main bully in present day. He owns Siesta.
@@kaiser_suzi_well there's lots of comments.. but i'm sure they didn't mean specifically for their reaction videos.. could've been reviews or in other reaction videos
A total of five students who bullied 1.Park Yeon-jin - the main character who led the violence, rich in weather caster, and having an affair with Jeon Jae-joon 2.Jeon Jae-joon - rich and owned a Siesta store and golf course 3. Sarah - drugged, painter and rich. Violence with Moon Dong-eun's hair straightener 4. Choi Hye-jung- stewardess and likes Jeon Jae-joon and wants to marry a rich man because he is poor. got the key after kissing the gym teacher. 5. Son Myung-oh - Who has a tattoo on his neck and forcibly kissed Moon Dong-eun, is poor and running errands for Jeon Jae-joon.
Putting it simply , you will be shamed for being curvy and not fitting into a Asian small size. They'll give backhanded compliments about you being healthy
25:59 not sure you’ll see this, but using English over English CC is much better. They serve different purposes and the translations are not as good. Yeon-Jin (yawn-Jean; main bully) Sa-ra (artist, rich, drug addict) Hye-Jeong (ummm Just say hey-jong and you’ll be close; she’s the stewardess whose parents own the dry cleaners)
Yeon-Jin is Yon-Jin. Most of the time, when an "E" is the first letter, you have to just ignore it. Hye-Jeong is He-Jong. Sadly, the English language is crap and makes it very hard to pronounce basically every Asian languages. 😅
Yeon-jin is actually more like yun (rhymes with fun) jin Hye-Jeong is literally yeh with an h sound in front. yeh rhyming with meh. Jeong is more like jung (rhymes with lung). I always found it easier to describe these sounds using rhymes as that's the best way to convey how exactly it sounds. Edit: Would also add that in normal fast speaking sometimes Hye IS pronounced just like heh. But technically it is as I described.
Not to give away anything but with K-drama quite often there is a lot of sub plot to the story that connects to the main, which is confusing at first but reveals later in the story, so make sure you pay attention to details. Thus, the scene and time jumping can be kinda confusing and annoying at first but you catch up and get used to it later. Love your insights and already looking forward to the next episode.
Park Yeon Jin- main bully/weather girl/rich/mom of the kid Joen Jae Jun- color blind/owns the siesta store/was sleeping with Park Yeon Jin on the Sofa/ he is the one playing basketball when they were younger/rich Sara- artist/junkie/ the one sprayed the thingy on this episode/rich Hye Jeong- flight attendant/ wants to marry a rich guy/the girl they bullied coz she wore Sarah's white dress/poor Myeong Oh- tattoo guy/errand guy/ long hair/poor The husband of Yeon Jin--the one who was in the library reading Go book side by side with Moon Dong Eun in the early year. The Doctor--this one more things about him will reveal. But he was the one who taught Dong Eun how to play go. Hope this will help.
i started watching the show because of the reactions (six episodes in at the moment) and i also noticed that cc are actually just,,, worse, as in the dialogue is weaker at some points. idk if i'd say it's confusing though
It's a screen space thing! CC is descriptive and focuses on assisting HoH & Deaf people, ("He sighs. Door opens. Ominous music." etc. etc.) dialogue will always be written differently to compensate the space taken up by extra audio descriptive text so that viewers aren't reading a delayed wall of text. Subtitles will be a better translation because it doesn't have to do all that.
When I first watched the show, the fact that Yeon-jin only amounted to a weather lady always threw me a little because I expected her to get further than that considering her background and personality. But I guess if she had become an idol she would be surrounded by bodyguards and it would've been harder for Dong-eun to get to her, so I wonder if the writers had to make her more accessible by just making her a weather lady.....unless weather anchors are a bigger deal in Korea?
I think she's also just coasting by on her family money. She said she wanted to get a cushy job and have an easy life, so maybe she went with weather lady as what she thought would be a nice, easy job
I think the point of was to show that despite not being actually capable of doing her job, she got there with her family and her husband’s influence so it’s like being an admirable working mom without actually doing any hard work. She just get to stand and read a script she didnt even write and be pretty and is still admired by many who her on screen.
Being a news anchor is actually considered prestigious in SK. My understanding is that the process takes years and the standards for them are extremely high (education, background, physical appearance, etc.). I think they chose this career for the character because despite her not being capable, she was still able to not only get the job but rise up fairly quickly - solely from her connections.
One of the parallels that I loved in this drama was how Dong eun revealed herself to them just like how Yeonjin revealed herself as a bully to the nurse in ep 1.
Are you watching with the official Netflix subs? Bcoz the ones you're wathing with have so many mistranslations or outright changed parts if dialogues.
Yeah unfortunately Netflix subtitles leave a bit to be desired. You really can't pick up on the cultural nuances like honorifics/titles. Koreans frequently address each other using titles (denoting job, relationship, status or age). I learned them because the places I watched Kdramas would have brief explanations of those terms. For example, the first time the drama used the word hyung they had in parentheses that it meant older brother or older male friend. They'd only do it the first couple of times and then just use 'hyung' in the subtitles instead of trying to replace it with a different word or the person's name like Netflix does. I really think it's better that way because the more you watch the more you learn about all the different titles, how/when they're used etc. It adds a whole other layer to conversations that Netflix just doesn't offer.
yeah! I wish Netflix would start doing this since they seem to be doing more and more kdramas and are opening up this world to more of an international audience.
Damnit Aaron that innuendo comment made me laugh now we’re both going to hell. I just kept thinking cross cross after that ending. Revenge driven Eric ngl kinda hot.
I hope youll one day react to Reply 1988! Its part of an anthology television series. Theres Reply 1997, Reply 1994, and Reply 1988. Reply 1988 is my favorite among the 3, but all 3 are worth the watch
As a girl with big titties, I do lay on my stomach when sleeping bc where there’s a will there’s a way. But I just have to use more than one pillow for support otherwise it’s very uncomfortable lol😂
Every questions of yours will eventually be answered later but you should pay attention on every details.I told you before that this is not typical American revenge story. This is a well written story. I don't want to spill some details but if you don't pay 100% attention, you'll missed it. Like studying Geometry if you don't understand the first part of the lesson you'll just drift away. When you reach the 2nd part of this season you must take a day off because you cannot wait how this thing will goes. GUARANTEED
@@DazHotep6EQUJ5 It did for me as well, but I guess it depends on the person. There's also certain factors to consider like how much you're used to foreign, specifically Korean content, which would make it harder for people to follow and require a few eps for them to adjust. I also think that a majority of people aren't going to expect the directing, editing and writing to be so specific and always connect to something bcos most shows aren't like that, so the more you pay attention the more you're rewarded for it.
@@zuriyel5368 Well put mate, I didn't think it went that deep but after hearing your insight I think you are right. The Glory is only my 6th Kdrama and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. This is a genre I have only dabbled in ever since squid game and I feel it becoming one of go to genres. I love unlocking a new world of entertainment. Getting to learn some of the culture and bits and pieces of the language is the cherry on top!
This is an awesome series - but it does get confusing when you only watch it once a week, twice a month or talk over the dialogue in another language... You miss the nuance and the plot...
Kdramas= like Game of Thrones, gotta make sure the details etc are being watched. Your guys are good at that I’m sure you’ll catch on. But def get the right subs on

Yeah also in India people didn't call each other by thier actual name ( exception:if their is relation or both are of same age)
Same with a work environment. Instead of names you use the title like Director, Team Lead, Manager, those kinds of titles.
"Boss" - is something that all of my Filipino relatives who came to the US for school said referring to anyone who they listen to whilst doing any job. LOL. It's something they use in PI.
It's a similar thing in Indian content.
Reason number 100 why I hate Netflix subs. They never capture any of the cultural nuances.
FYI: it’s not sushi; it’s gimbap 김밥
The one who was playing basketball and not helping is Jae-jun; he’s the one sleeping with main bully in present day. He owns Siesta.
flashback incoming anyway..they'll know :)
everyone talks about how they like the second half of the series but the payoffs dont exist without the first half setting it up
True
exactly
Huh. I haven't seen anyone say that in any of the comment sections for any of BW's reactions to this series...
@@kaiser_suzi_well there's lots of comments.. but i'm sure they didn't mean specifically for their reaction videos.. could've been reviews or in other reaction videos

They're gonna love the maid. She is great!
her character was great and her acting was so amazing as well !!
Can't wait for you guys to watch the 4th episode and the rest of the episodes...😁
I'm super excited to see you all react to this amazing show!
regarding sara bodyshaming hyejeong for stretching out the dress, basically in korea, they kinda lean more towards slim bodies. 😅

Hye-Jeong is He-Jong.

@@SDavid3388 I’m a Korean language tutor. For people not officially in class, I use English words that get them as close as possible. 😭
in the one week since the first reaction dropped, I binge watched the whole show! it's so addicting
I actually really enjoyed this show when I watched it myself. Love that you guys are watching it aswell!
since they've watched four more episodes i'm assuming they've realised it by now but yeon-jin was from a rich family to begin with
this show is so good!!! feels nice to rewatch with you
Many many more close-up needle shots coming up in this show….. 🙏😂
First true intro to my man lee do hyun cant wait for yall to see more of him😩💓

Another korean drama yall should check out is "Signal" it's so good
I agree. Signal is the drama I recommend to people who usually dont watch kdramas, is so good!
Park Yeon Jin- main bully/weather girl/rich/mom of the kid
Joen Jae Jun- color blind/owns the siesta store/was sleeping with Park Yeon Jin on the Sofa/ he is the one playing basketball when they were younger/rich
Sara- artist/junkie/ the one sprayed the thingy on this episode/rich
Hye Jeong- flight attendant/ wants to marry a rich guy/the girl they bullied coz she wore Sarah's white dress/poor
Myeong Oh- tattoo guy/errand guy/ long hair/poor
The husband of Yeon Jin--the one who was in the library reading Go book side by side with Moon Dong Eun in the early year.
The Doctor--this one more things about him will reveal. But he was the one who taught Dong Eun how to play go.
Hope this will help.
You guys should also start watching is okay not to be okay is such a good kdrama
NOTE: Don’t use CC (closed captioning) use English Subtitles is less confusing.
good to know. thanks.

Yeon-jin wouldn’t last a day in idol life 😂 she’d hire like a body double to get plastic surgery and do all the dancing for her
Idols are not taken as seriously as weather casting ladies in higher power families in Korea so it actually makes total sense
can’t wait for the next reaction! ❤
them taking notes is so cute. so professional.
So happy yalls are doing this show. Definitely my favorite, the story is so great and the actors do such a good job 👏🏼
I like how y’all take notes. I couldn’t keep up with who was who at the very beginning. 😊
the one in the white dress is hyejeong the flight attendant
IM WAITING FOR THIS🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Everyone here waiting for the reactions when things GO DOWN
the discussion at the very end is hilarious
One of the parallels that I loved in this drama was how Dong eun revealed herself to them just like how Yeonjin revealed herself as a bully to the nurse in ep 1.
Wow Aaron got it
I'm so happy they're reacting to this!💙
So glad they are watching this.....maybe we might get Alice In Boarderland soon
thank you
it will all come together, I promise!
This drama goes back and forth between present and past, so you should probably pay more attention.
Dammit, I was just about to hit the bed hahaha.
Are you watching with the official Netflix subs? Bcoz the ones you're wathing with have so many mistranslations or outright changed parts if dialogues.
Guys I promise you, the payoff is worth it!! Just keep watching.

Hoping they will get to Bloodhound!
Another K-drama recommendation: Sweet Home, Itaewon Class
Up!!!
As a girl with big titties, I do lay on my stomach when sleeping bc where there’s a will there’s a way. But I just have to use more than one pillow for support otherwise it’s very uncomfortable lol😂
I fkn love Mrs. Kang and I hope you guys do too!
😊❤
If you continue with KDramas, and I really hope you do, you need to get used to flashbacks. And product placements.... looking at you Subway.

The stry picks up from ep3 in my opinion 😅
Huh, strange. Here I was think the story picked up on episode 1. I must be mistaken or something.

please watch it with different version of subtitle or you won't be able to understand everything.
Guys, don't joke too much and pay more attention to conversations. If not, you won't understand what's going on
Wheres the rest of Ted Lasso??? I was enjoying watching that with u guys
Um. It is there. All paused shows like ted lasso were resumed from yesterday
calvin is looking wayyyyyyyyyyyyy to good in that shirt, i cant take my eyes of him uwu. please wear more of these in the upcoming reactions :D
be fast guys it has season 2😅
yeah i have a feeling ya'll are not going to understand anything and that's really disappointing, i was really excited for your reactions :/
They are only 2 eps in on utube here. Chill
They understand it very well enough personally. (im on patreon ,they already 7 eps in)
ok@@narnia5404
Please upload faster next eps
This is an awesome series - but it does get confusing when you only watch it once a week, twice a month or talk over the dialogue in another language... You miss the nuance and the plot...
so true :/
After this show id reccomend bloodhounds
Kdramas= like Game of Thrones, gotta make sure the details etc are being watched. Your guys are good at that I’m sure you’ll catch on. But def get the right subs on
If ya'll could stop looking away from the screen for several seconds while watching shows that require you to read subtitles, that would be nice..
Wow, only two episodes in and we're already getting an emotional plot moment with a board game. Hunter x Hunter could NEVER
The video coming on and off the whole time is extremely distracting
